Paul Idell Fiser (February 10, 1908 – June 25, 1978) was an American football coach. He was the head coach at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas, for one season in 1931, compiling a record of 4–3, after which the school shut down the program until 1959.[1]

The student body of Harding College was happily taken with their new coach in 1931, and wrote to him via the Harding yearbook, the Petit Jean:

"Fiser is just the man to develop Harding's athletic program. He has won a place in our hearts and we hope he may be with us again next year - if not, Paul, good luck!"[2]

Fiser played college football at Arkansas College (now known as Lyon College) in Batesville, Arkansas.[3]

Fiser later taught at Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, Arkansas, where he served as a physical education instructor in the naval cadet program and was supervisor of the dining hall.[4]
